Thanks. Joan's faith and her knowledge formed the bedrock in her life and beyond. A retired nurse. Had the caregivers and medical people that provided care in her home on their toes certainly ... and in fact knew she was taking a hand in their on-the-job training ... and she would laugh out loud that I wrote these words here. Joan would wink at me. She would have said "Go ahead, post it." BTW ... Joe always called the hostas cabbages! Joan and I laughed and laughed.
Gardens ... Gotta say that yellow lights up the shaded areas, first in the early morning and last in the late evening. Yellow is my go to colour to attract the eye where no other colour can do the job.
You're right ... pansies for fall. I will definitely make two plantings next year, for summer and one again for fall... because they bloom their smiling hearts out then need a rest.
My goodness, my son said he will move me tomorrow to the new place. OK that. I have a few days to move but need to have help as available. Get the heavy stuff trailered out ... I will do the rest. I am so happy with the new owners here - in the trades - respectful of neighbours and community - have old dogs
. My parents would be proud.
So ... it is on to my next life.
